From the House of SICC Labs comes a precise and authentic expression of the honey sun-dried process in India. Bold and sweet with a rich mouthfeel, this lot presents a predominantly chocolate-driven profile supported by a persistent underlying sweetness and a measured hint of bitterness that completes the cup. Designed to excel in milk-based beverages, it cuts cleanly through oat, almond, and dairy milk alike, delivering its signature chocolate and caramel character with clarity and strength.

A rich and creamy espresso with natural sweetness led by cane sugar, milk chocolate and caramel. Nutty aromatics support a balanced acidity and a gentle touch of bitterness that rounds the cup without sharp edges. The medium-dark profile delivers depth and structure for both black and milk beverages, producing chocolate-forward cappuccinos and lattes with a smooth, satisfying finish.

The process begins with selective handpicking, ensuring only fully ripe red cherries are harvested, preserving clarity and consistency in the final cup. Once collected, the cherries are depulped to remove the skin while deliberately retaining the sugary mucilage on the parchment. This choice distinguishes the lot from a traditional washed process and plays a central role in developing sweetness, depth and layered flavour complexity. The mucilage-covered beans are then transferred to raised beds for controlled sun-drying. They are turned at regular intervals to promote uniform dehydration and prevent over-fermentation or uneven drying. Depending on climatic conditions, this stage typically requires seven to ten days. As moisture stabilises, the mucilage integrates into the seed, contributing to a smooth texture and a pronounced natural sweetness. The result is a precisely executed process that balances cleanliness with character, shaping a well-rounded and expressive cup.
